  Description     : library for working with weather reports

    libwreport is a C++ library for working with weather reports.
    .
    The main feature of libwreport is a powerful decoder and encoder for the BUFR
    and CREX formats.
    .
    It also provides a useful abstraction to handle values found in weather
    reports, with awareness of significant digits, measurement units, variable
    descriptions, unit conversion and attributes on variables.
    .
    Features provided:
    .
     * Read and write BUFR version 2, 3, and 4
     * Read and write CREX
     * Unit conversion
     * Handling of physical variables

Besides being a proper, powerful, tested, free codec for BUFR and CREX,
this is going to be a dependency for the new upstream version of the
"dballe" package.
